It turns out the Biden economy was as bad as it seemed...but the legacy media didn't tell us about it. Bloomberg's chief U.S. economist now says the U.S. was likely in a recession months before last year's election, based on downwardly revised jobs numbers. And "downwardly revised" is putting it mildly---the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced that jobs growth was overstated by more than 900,000 jobs in the year between March 2024 and March 2025.
All the while, most of the legacy media was parroting those bogus jobs numbers to prop up the Biden/Harris economy. "The media, of course, tried to gaslight the American people into believing that the economy was somehow going gangbusters," says Joseph Vasquez with the Media Research Center. "Now, we find out that we may have actually been in a recession since the spring of 2024."
Indeed, Vasquez points out that outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Forbes ran headlines last summer touting the "Historically Strong Job Market," "Record-Breaking Accomplishments on Jobs," and "robust labor market for American workers." At the same time, they largely ignored evidence that things were anything but hunky-dory with the economy.
Vasquez also believes it's no coincidence that this cover-up happened in an election year. "It's possible that Trump would have had an even bigger electoral blowout victory if it was known that the economy was in fact in recession," he says. "Because the Biden administration and its cronies in the media were trying to convince everybody that Biden was overseeing one of the best economies ever."
"Now, in retrospect we find out the Biden economy sucked to begin with...they're admitting what we knew to be obvious."
